DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describingselected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limitthe scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 through FIG. 10, the present invention is a licenseplate mount for motorcycles. Specifically, the present invention is alicense plate mount for motorcycles that may be positioned into twoconfigurations, a functional configuration and a collapsedconfiguration. This allows the license plate to be folded out of sightwhen the motorcycle is not in use to maximize the aesthetics of themotorcycle. Additionally, this allows the license plate to be extendedand legally displayed during use of the motorcycle. The presentinvention is designed ideally for cruisers, old style motorcycles, andany other type of motorcycle. Some examples of motorcycles that thepresent invention is designed for include, but are not limited to,Harleys, Cruisers, and Choppers, Café Racers, and Bobbers. Additionally,the present invention can also be used for new-style motorcycles withoutaltering the drive chain/tension of the rear wheel axle.

Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a first mountingplate 1, a second mounting plate 4, an automatic pivoting mechanism 6, ahinge mechanism 18, a mounting hole 20, and a tension pin 21. The firstmounting plate 1 attaches the present invention to the frame of amotorcycle. In particular, the first mounting plate 1 is designed toattach onto the rear axle or the suspension bolt with a nut or bolthead. The second mounting plate 4 attaches to a license plate. Thesecond mounting plate 4 is preferably shaped and sized to the standarddesign of a motorcycle license plate; although alternative shapes,sized, and designs may also be used. The first mounting plate 1 and thesecond mounting plate 4 are hingedly attached to each other by the hingemechanism 18 to allow for the second mounting plate 4 to be positionedat an angle relative to the first mounting plate 1. The hinge mechanism18 is a bearing that mechanically couples two objects and allows saidobjects to rotate relative to each other, specifically to be positionedat an angle relative to each other. It is preferred that the mechanicalhinge is barrel hinge for the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, afirst end 2 of the first mounting plate 1 is adjacently connected to andalong the hinge mechanism 18. The second mounting plate 4 is positionedadjacent to the hinge mechanism 18, opposite the first mounting plate 1.Additionally, the hinge mechanism 18 is connected to and along a rearsurface 5 of the second mounting plate 4. Resultantly, the secondmounting plate 4 is rotatably mounted to the first mounting plate 1 bythe hinge mechanism 18, specifically about a main axis 19 of the hingemechanism 18. In general, the hinge mechanism 18 allows for the firstmounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 4 to be positioned intothe functional configuration and the collapsed configuration. In thefunctional configuration, the first mounting plate 1 is positionedperpendicular to the second mounting plate 4. When viewed from a topview, the outline shape formed in the functional configuration is aT-shape. Additionally, the license plate is positioned perpendicular tothe length/profile of the motorcycle, thus visually exposing the licenseplate for legal purposes. In the collapsed configuration, the secondmounting plate 4 is positioned adjacent and parallel to the firstmounting plate 1. The collapsed configuration is designed for increasingthe aesthetics of the motorcycle when the motorcycle is parked and notin use. Specifically, the collapsed configuration aligns the licenseplate parallel and along the profile of the motorcycle.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 8, the automatic pivoting mechanism 6controls the configuration of the present invention, i.e. the automaticpivoting mechanism 6 mechanically rotates the first mounting plate 1 andthe second mounting plate 4 relative to each other about the hingemechanism 18. Preferably, the automatic pivoting mechanism 6 isoperatively coupled in between the first mounting plate 1 and the secondmounting plate 4. Thus coupled, the automatic pivoting mechanism 6rotates the second mounting plate 4 about the main axis 19, relative tothe first mounting plate 1. Specifically, the automatic pivotingmechanism 6 is designed to work as an actuation system that causes thepresent invention to transition between the functional configuration andthe collapsed configuration.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the automatic pivotingmechanism 6 is positioned adjacent to the first end 2 of the firstmounting plate 1 and comprises a servomotor 7 and a control linkage 9.The servomotor 7 is a motor with an output shaft 8 that can be preciselycontrolled in regard to the angular positioning of output shaft 8. Theservomotor 7 is adjacently mounted to the first mounting plate 1 with anoutput shaft 8 of the servomotor 7 being oriented parallel and offset tothe main axis 19 of the hinge mechanism 18 as seen in FIG. 3. Thecontrol linkage 9 acts as a crank arm for the servomotor 7 to convertrotational motion of the output shaft 8 into linear motion. The linearmotion pushes or pulls the second mounting plate 4 to position thepresent invention into the collapsed configuration or the functionalconfiguration. Specifically, the control linkage 9 pushes or pulls thesecond mounting plate 4 to force the second mounting plate 4 to rotateabout the main axis 19 of the hinge mechanism 18. For this, a first end10 of the control linkage 9 is torsionally mounted to the output shaft8. Resultantly, a crankshaft is created wherein rotation of the outputshaft 8 rotates the first end 10 of the control linkage 9 and translatesa second end 11 of the control linkage 9. The second end 11 of thecontrol linkage 9 is rotatably mounted to the rear surface 5 of thesecond mounting plate 4 to push or pull the second mounting plate 4about the main axis 19 of the hinge mechanism 18. Specifically, thesecond end 11 of the control linkage 9 is rotatably mounted to the rearsurface 5 of the second mounting plate 4, offset to the hinge mechanism18; said offset distance acts as a crank arm for the second mountingplate 4.

The mounting hole 20 and the tension pin 21 serve as attachment pointsfor the motorcycle. Specifically, a second end 3 of the first mountingplate 1 is mounted to the motorcycle through the mounting hole 20 andthe tension pin 21. Referring to FIG. 3, the mounting hole 20 is acircular hole that is positioned adjacent to the second end 3 of thefirst mounting plate 1. Additionally, the mounting hole 20 normallytraverses through the first mounting plate 1. The mounting hole 20receives a rear-axle shaft or the suspension bolt of the motorcycle andthus is sized complimentary. The tension pin 21 is an elongatedstructural element that acts as a second engagement point between themotorcycle and the present invention to prevent the first mounting plate1 from accidentally spinning about the rear-axle shaft. The tension pin21 is positioned adjacent to the mounting hole 20, opposite the secondend 3 of the first mounting plate 1, to coincide with a pin-receivinghole on the motorcycle. Additionally, the tension pin 21 is connectednormal and adjacent to the first mounting plate 1. To mount the presentinvention, a user first removes the axle nut off of the rear-axle shaft.Then, the user positions the rear-axle shaft through the mounting hole20 while simultaneously positioning the tension pin 21 within thepin-receiving hole. Finally, the user tightens the axle nut over therear-axle shaft until the first mounting plate 1 is secured in place.Alternative mounting and securing means may also be utilized formotorcycles with different rear-axle shaft designs and differentsuspension bolt designs.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, for the most efficient design, thecontrol linkage 9 comprises a first control arm 12 and a second controlarm 13. The first control arm 12 and the second control arm 13 are eachan elongated link element. The first control arm 12 acts as a crankelement for the servomotor 7 while the second control arm 13 couples thefirst control arm 12 to the second mounting plate 4. Specifically, thefirst control arm 12 is terminally and torsionally connected to theoutput shaft 8 of the servomotor 7. The second control arm 13 ispositioned in between the first control arm 12 and the second mountingplate 4. In particular, a first end 14 of the second control arm 13 isrotatably mounted to the first control arm 12, opposite the servomotor7.

A second end 15 of the second control arm 13 is positioned offset to thehinge mechanism 18, along the second mounting plate 4, to provide thesecond control arm 13 a moment arm relative to the hinge mechanism 18.Additionally, the second end 15 of the second control arm 13 isrotatably mounted to the second mounting plate 4.

Referring to FIG. 3, the automatic pivoting mechanism 6 furthercomprises a housing enclosure 16 and first hole 17. The housingenclosure 16 covers and supports the servomotor 7. The housing enclosure16 is positioned adjacent and is adjacently connected to the firstmounting plate 1. The housing enclosure 16 is positioned offset to thehinge mechanism 18 and is sized to receive the servomotor 7. The firsthole 17 exposes a portion of the servomotor 7 for the servomotor 7 to becoupled to the control linkage 9. Specifically, the first hole 17traverses into the housing enclosure 16, parallel to the of the firstmounting plate 1. The servomotor 7 is positioned within the first hole17 and is mounted within the housing enclosure 16. The servomotor 7 isoriented such that the output shaft 8 of the servomotor 7 extends out ofthe housing closure through the first hole 17.

When the present invention is in the functional configuration, randomforces caused by the weight and vibrations from the road can oftenoverload and or break the servomotor 7. To resolve this, the presentinvention further comprises a push-pull solenoid 22, an engagement plate24, and a second hole 25 that physically lock the first mounting plate 1to the second mounting plate 4. The push-pull solenoid 22 acts as afirst interlocking element and is integrated into the first mountingplate 1. The engagement plate 24 and the second hole 25 act as a secondinterlocking element and are integrated into the second mounting plate4. Specifically, the push-pull solenoid 22 is an electromagneticactuator that extends and retracts a locking pin 23, wherein the lockingpin 23 is a slug of metal. The push-pull solenoid 22 is positioned inbetween the servomotor 7 and the hinge mechanism 18. Additionally, thepush-pull solenoid 22 is adjacently mounted to the first mounting plate1. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the engagement plate 24 is adjacentlyconnected to the rear surface 5 of the second mounting plate 4, adjacentto the push-pull solenoid 22. The second hole 25 is sized to receive thelocking pin 23 and normally traverses through the engagement plate 24.When the present invention is positioned into the functionalconfiguration, the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate4 are positioned perpendicular to each other. This positions theengagement plate 24 and the second hole 25 directly inline within thepush-pull solenoid 22. Specifically, the second hole 25 and theengagement plate 24 are designed such that in the functionalconfiguration the locking pin 23 coincidentally aligns with the secondhole 25. The functional configuration is secured into place with thepush-pull solenoid 22 being engaged such that the locking pin 23 isengaged within the second hole 25.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the push-pullsolenoid 22 is mounted within the housing enclosure 16. Specifically,the push-pull solenoid 22 is positioned within the first hole 17 and ismounted within the housing enclosure 16. Additionally, the push-pullsolenoid 22 is oriented such that the locking pin 23 is positionedadjacent to the output shaft 8 of the servomotor 7.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first mounting plate 1 and the second mountingplate 4 may be positioned into the collapsed configuration when themotorcycle is not in use. For this, the locking pin 23 is retracted intothe push-pull solenoid 22 and the servomotor 7 is activated until thesecond mounting plate 4 rotates about the main axis 19 to be positionedadjacent to the first mounting plate 1, opposite the servomotor 7. Inparticular, the servomotor 7 is activated until the second mountingplate 4 is oriented parallel to the first mounting plate 1.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the present inventionutilizes an electromagnet 26 instead of the push-pull solenoid 22 andthe engagement plate 24 to lock the present invention in the functionalconfiguration. The electromagnet 26 is positioned in between the housingenclosure 26 and the hinge mechanism 18 and is adjacently connected tothe housing enclosure 16. In the functional configuration, theelectromagnet 26 is magnetically attached to the second mounting plate4, wherein the second mounting plate 4 is composed of ferromagneticmaterial. It is preferred that the electromagnet 26 is positioned inbetween the servomotor 7 and the second mounting plate 4, wherein theelectromagnet 26 is mounted to the first mounting plate 1.

To attach a license plate to the second mounting plate 4, the presentinvention further comprises a plurality of fastening holes 27. Theplurality of fastening holes 27 is a series of pre-drilled openings thatserves as attachment points for a license plate. The plurality offastening holes 27 is distributed about the second mounting plate 4 witheach of the plurality of fastening holes 27 normally traversing throughthe second mounting plate 4 as seen in FIG. 1. The plurality offastening holes 27 includes four corner holes. The corner holes complywith the standard attachment means for license plates. The corner holesallow the user to attach a license plate using standard nut and boltfasteners. The number within the plurality of fastening holes 27 issubject to change to meet the needs and preferences of the user.Additionally, the size, location, and design of each of the plurality offastening holes 27 is subject to change to meet the needs andpreferences of the user. In one embodiment of the present invention, theplurality of fastening holes 27 comprises an at least one elongatedslot. The elongated slot is centrally positioned on the second mountingplate 4 and normally traverses through the second mounting plate 4. Theelongated slot a cut out that allows a piece of reflective material tobe overlaid on to the elongated slot. In the preferred embodiment of thepresent invention, the elongated slot serves as a template for a layerof reflective material to be overlaid on to the elongated slot. Invarious embodiments of the present invention, the elongated slot cantake the form of various shapes and sizes. In another embodiment of thepresent invention, the elongated slot can be filled in with reflectivematerial.

Referring to FIG. 2, for aerodynamic and aesthetic purposes, the firstmounting plate 1 tapers from the first end 2 of the first mounting plate1 towards the second end 3 of the first mounting plate 1. Additionally,it is preferred that the second end 3 of the first mounting plate 1 isrounded.

In one embodiment, the present invention further comprises a stop 28.The stop 28 is a rectangular extrusion which prevents the secondmounting plate 4 from swinging past a 90-degree orientation relative tothe first mounting plate 1. Specifically, when the servomotor 7 isrotating the second mounting plate 4 about the hinge mechanism 18 fromthe collapsed configuration to the functional configuration, the stop 28physically obstructs the second mounting plate 4 from being positionedadjacent to the housing enclosure 16. For this, the stop 28 ispositioned adjacent to the automatic pivoting mechanism 6 and the rearsurface 5 of the second mounting plate 4. Additionally, the stop 28 isadjacently connected along the hinge mechanism 18. The stop may beimplemented in a variety of means and mechanisms. In the simplestversion, the stop 28 is integrated into the hinge mechanism 18.

Referring to FIG. 6 through FIG. 10, in some embodiments of the presentinvention, the automatic pivoting mechanism 6 is not directly mountedonto the first mounting plate 1 or the second mounting plate 4. In theseembodiments, a push-pull control system is mounted onto the motorcycleand tethered to the second mounting plate. The automatic pivotingmechanism 6 comprises the control linkage 9, a push-pull control cable29, an actuator 30, at least one guidance bracket 31, and a guidancehole 32. Preferably, the actuator 30 is a push-pull control system thatgenerates the force required to transition the present invention betweenthe functional configuration and the collapsed configuration.Alternatively, the actuator 30 is a linear control spring capable oflengthening or shortening the push-pull control cable 29. Further, theactuator 30 may be a type of radial actuator for example, a clockspring,bracketed coilspring, torsion bar, or twisted coilspring. The second end11 of the control linkage 9 is mounted onto the second mounting plate 4.Additionally, the first end 10 of the control linkage is pivotably andterminally connected to the push-pull control cable 29. The push-pullcontrol cable 29 is tethered to the actuator 30, opposite to the firstend 10 of the control linkage 9. Accordingly, the push-pull controlcable 29 functions as a linkage that transfers force generated by theactuator 30 to the control linkage 9. Thus, forcing the second mountingplate 4 to transition between the functional configuration and thecollapsed configuration.

Continuing on, the guidance bracket 31 is mounted onto the rear surface33 of the first mounting plate 1. Additionally, the guidance bracket 31is positioned offset from the hinge mechanism 18 across the firstmounting bracket 1. Further, the guidance hole 32 normally traversesthrough the guidance bracket 31 and the push-pull control cable 29 isthreaded through the guidance hole 32. Thus positioned, the guidancebracket 31 and the guidance hole 32 maintain the push-pull control cable29 in a desired orientation while transitioning the present inventionbetween the functional configuration and the collapsed configuration.The actuator 30 is mounted offset from the control linkage 9 so that theactuator 30 can be retained in a position that does not hinder theoperations of the motorcycle. In some embodiments the actuator 30 is amotion transfer assembly that causes the motorcycle's kickstand tocontrol the configuration of the present invention. Specifically, theactuator 30 causes the push-pull control cable 29 to transition thepresent invention into the functional configuration when stored and intothe collapsed configuration when deployed.

In an alternative embodiment, a biasing spring 34 is mounted onto thehinge mechanism 18. Additionally, the biasing spring 34 is connected inbetween the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 4.Accordingly, the biasing spring compels the present invention to remainin the collapsed configuration. Preferably, the biasing spring 34 is atorsion spring that is concentrically aligned to the main axis 19 of thehinge mechanism 18.

This configuration facilitates newer-stylemotorcycles, where the indicator switch is implemented on the kick-standof the motorcycle. The controller is wired directly into the motorcycleand reads the status of the motorcycle, specifically to determine if themotorcycle is turned on or turned off. The controller is a circuit boxwhich regulates the electrical supply to the servomotor 7 and thepush-pull solenoid 22. The controller is directly wired to the powersource, the battery, of the motorcycle and serves as the power supplyfor the servomotor 7 and the push-pull solenoid 22. The controllercomprises a reducer, a plurality of relays, a plurality of testers, afuse, and a case. The reducer is wired on to the key switch, and theground of a motorcycle. More specifically, the reducer lowers the 12volt-voltage output of the motorcycle's power supply to 6-volts. Theplurality of relays is wired on to the kill-switch, and/or thekick-stand switch of a motorcycle, depending on the style of themotorcycle. More specifically, the plurality of relays acts as switchesthat diverts the current of the plurality of testers to retract/detractthe second bracket from the first bracket. The plurality of testers iswired on to the reducer and the plurality of relays. Additionally, theplurality of testers interacts with the servomotor 7 to retract/detractthe second mounting plate 4. More specifically the plurality of testersis a servo microcontroller system that specifically controls theservomotor 7 to retract or detract by sending a generated pulse to thesignal end of the servomotor 7. The plurality of testers comprises afirst tester, and a second tester. The first tester is wired on thereducer and the servo. More specifically, the first tester is calibratedto send a pulse to the signal member of the servomotor 7 to retract thesecond mounting plate 4 to the first bracket when the kill-switch and/orkick-stand switch deactivates the motorcycle. The first tester furthercomprises of a first dial. The first dial of the first tester is a pulseadjuster that allows a user to adjust the retraction angle of thepresent invention. The second tester is wired on the reducer and theservomotor 7. More specifically, the second tester is calibrated to senda pulse to the signal member of the servo to detract the second mountingplate 4 from the first mounting plate 1 when the key switch of themotorcycle is activated. The second tester further comprises of a seconddial. The second dial of the second tester is a pulse adjuster thatallows a user to adjust the detraction angle of the present invention.The first fuse is wired in to the key switch of the motorcycle. Morespecifically, the first fuse is an inline fuse the protects thecontroller from short circuiting. The second fuse is wired in to thekill switch and/or kickstand switch of the motorcycle. Morespecifically, the second fuse is an additional inline fuse the protectsthe controller from short circuiting. The case is located in the batterycompartment of a motorcycle. More specifically, the case houses andsecures the PCB from weather, and or external damage. Additionally, thecase is adhered in the inside of the motorcycles compartment.

When the motorcycle is turned off, the controller activates theservomotor 7 in order to position the present invention into thecollapsed configuration. When the motorcycle is turned on, thecontroller activates the servomotor 7 to position the present inventioninto the functional configuration. This ensures that the rider does notaccidentally drive around with the license plate collapsed and hidden.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the controller may bereplaced with a mechanical system, where the present invention isadapted with a gearbox, pulley, and/or cable system that interacts withthe motorcycle's kickstand in order to activate the servomotor 7 basedon the kickstand's positioning.
